Can someone please help me, I'm trying to write "Treehouse loves" '+' followed by my name variable.
The challenge Task reads:
"OK! Make a new variable named subject that concatenates (uses the + sign) the string "Treehouse loves" and your name variable."
name = "Darren"
subject = "Treehouse loves" '+' "Darren"

Treehouse Guest TeacherYou don't need the quotes around the +, you need to just use it, like you would if you were adding two numbers together.
You should also use the name variable instead of re-typing your name. Again, no quotes, just the name of the variable, which is name
